Planned Baby

Chapter 17 BACKFIRE

Four days before we announced the press conference

“Ellie, I have a meeting today with RV shitty company,” I informed her.

She chuckled. “You are so mean, Ulie.”

I clenched my jaw. “That name suits their company. I will never forgive them for what they did to you. I will surely make them pay. They insulted you an Escarrer.”

Her forehead creased. “I am not part of Escarrer.” She corrected me.

I smirked. “The moment you gave birth to our children, you automatically became part of the Escarrer family.”

She rolled her eyes. “Don’t you dare tell that to anyone?! You might not be able to get married when they hear that. They will assume that we are in a relationship or something.”

“I don’t plan to marry anyone,” I told her.

“Oh yeah! I forgot. You didn’t want to get married.” She said, then chuckled.

“Well, I don’t mind getting married if you are the bride,” I told her.

She just laughed. “Whatever, Ulie!”

I shrugged. She never believes me whenever I say this thing to her. But I am serious whenever I said it. I am willing to marry her if she allows me, not just for the kids.

The more I get to know Ellie, the more I wanted to be close to her.

She was indeed a very strong woman. She wanted to show the world that she can handle things alone. But something inside of me wants to protect her. I want to be someone she can depend on.

I was back from deep thinking when Ellie went to me with the twins.

“Say bye-bye to Daddy twins! Wish him luck with his meeting today.” Ellie said in a gentle, sweet voice.

I smiled at my family. I love mornings like this.

I kiss the twins goodbye.

“Bye, kids, I will see you later! Bye Ellie.” Then I kissed Ellie on the cheek.

She smiled at me and nodded. “Bye, Ulie! Wish you luck!”

I smirked. “RV needed that luck more than me.”

***

Jace informed me that RV’s CEO is already here.

I look at the time; it was almost 10 am. I smirked. It's showtime!

“Tell them to come in,” I said in a formal voice.

“Copy, Sir,” Jace said, then end the intercom call.

“Mr. Escarrer!”

The voice came from an annoying person. I tried my best to control myself not to punch this guy.

“Mr. Ventura,” I said in a formal voice.

Jace guides him to my conference room area.

“What’s the meeting all about?” I said the moment we sat down in my conference room.

I wanted to end this as soon as possible.

“First of all, I am sorry to hear about the LHI resorts issue.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

My eyebrow raised.

He cleared his throat when he saw that I don't have anything to say.

“Well, I guess this thing will not happen if we were the ones who got this project.”

I smirked finally.

“What do you mean?”

I saw him smile as if he was happy with what he heard.

“You know CIC is a nameless company. I understand that they want their company to be known but using their body to get this project is way too immoral. When we got the LHI hotel project, we never had this kind of issue, nor scandal.” He said, full of insult.

I clenched my fist. You dig your own grave, Mr. Ventura.

“And who told you that she was using her body to get this project?” I asked in a cold voice.

I saw him flinched. “W-well, it’s obvious s-she got pregnant with your child. Or are you even sure that the kid was yours?”

You are pushing your death too much.

“Are you insulting the Escarrer family?”

He shivers. “N-no, Mr. Escarrer, I never meant that.”

“My kids are Escarrer. Doubting them as an Escarrer bloodline is already an insult. I think you push your luck too much, or should I say death?” I said in a menacing voice.

He turned pale. “M-Mr. Escarrer-”

“Did you think that I will never find out that you were the one behind all this issue?”

His eyes widen. “No, Mr. Escarrer. I will never do that to you.”

I smirked. “You are already busted, Mr. Ventura. And for your information, Ellie never uses her body to get this project. The nameless company that you are saying is way too good compared to your company skills. They got the project fair and square.”

“What I have with Ellie is none of your business. You attacked the Escarrer, and I guess you already know what will happen to your company.”

“Mr. E-escarrer, please forgive me. I will clear this issue. Just please spare my company.”

“Too late, Mr. Ventura.”

I went to my conference door and opened it.

“Goodbye, Mr. Ventura. Expect our response from attacking Escarrer.”

“But I never attacked you. It was all for Ms. Cabello.”

I smirked. “Ellie is already an Escarrer.”

His eyes widen. He gets down to my knees and begs.

“Mr. Escarrer, I didn't know. I was foolish. I will fix the issue. Please forgive me and spare my company.” He continues to beg.

“No matter what you do, the damage has been done. Get out of my office now!” I said in a low and menacing voice.

He looks defeated as he was walking out.

“Oh! By the way, it was me who uses my body to get her and not the other way around.”
